Roller Coaster

I love going on roller coasters, and I just got into writing poems.I read someone else's poem on roller coasters, which is basically what inspired me to write this. I don't like the beginning and the endings okay. But the rest I feel confident in.

Standing there, heart pounding Head spinning, sweaty palms “Why an I doing this?” This is not going to end well

I step in the cart My stomach turns A thought of regret The bar comes clamping down

Here we go… Climbing and creaking My anxiety gets worse I feel like I am going to explode!

Get me off Tick, tick, tick Get me off Tick, tick, tick Reaching the peak Get me off And then dive GET ME OFF!!

And then… I feel like I am the King of the World! Even though I’m only a girl. My fears disappear I might actually enjoy this I feel as I am on top of the world!

Going up and down the hills Laughing and screaming Searching for air! I turned to look at him He might actually be scared

Into a curve we go Whirling

Whipping

Winding

Woah!

Down

We

Go

The metal wheels start grinding and turning Gasp!

A screeching halt!

I smiled and turn to him

“Wanna go again?”
